Book excerpt: The analysis builds on the growing body of research demonstrating how "place matters" to the quality of life for all citizens and to the prosperity of nations. [...] The place-based framework recognizes the importance of both perspectives, and seeks their integration through a mix of public policies responding to the needs of cities of all sizes and locations. [...] Strong urban and community policies engage different forms of localized expertise including the "lived experience" of residents, the "action- research" of community organizations, and the "technical data" of statistical agencies. [...] New relationships must be forged among government, civil society, and the economy, and across the different branches and levels of the state. [...] UDAs bring together the problem-solving resources of the different levels of government, and the community and business sectors.

Book excerpt: Given the evident complexities of urban policy-making in the Canadian Whither the Federal Urban Agenda? [...] The research underpinning the new localism makes three central claims: first, that cities are the engines of national economies; second, that cities are also the places with the most concentrated poverty and forms of socio-spatial polarization; and third, that with economic and social issues of such national consequence playing out in cities, upper level governments must bring an "urban lens" to t [...] For each of the explicit and implicit approaches, EURICUR identifies the vision animating the policy and the main instruments for implementation. [...] The Cities Secretariat became part of a new Ministry of State for Infrastructure and Communities to translate the vision into action and drive implementation of the New Deal's measures. [...] Such place-based collaboratives were integral to the federal homelessness program, the Action for Neighbourhood Change, the Vancouver Agreement and the Winnipeg Development Agreements, and the Integrated Community Sustainability Plans (Torjman, 2006).

Download or read book Canada in Cities written by Katherine A.H. Graham and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government and its policies transform Canadian cities in myriad ways. Canada in Cities examines this relationship to better understand the interplay among changing demographics, how local governments and citizens frame their arguments for federal action, and the ways in which the national government uses its power and resources to shape urban Canada. Most studies of local governance in Canada focus on politics and policy within cities. The essays in this collection turn such analysis on its head, by examining federal programs, rather than municipal ones, and observing how they influence local policies and work with regional authorities and civil societies. Through a series of case studies - ranging from federal policy concerning Aboriginal people in cities, to the introduction of the federal gas tax transfer to municipalities, to the impact of Canada's emergency management policies on cities - the contributors provide insights about how federal politics influence the local political arena. Analyzing federal actions in diverse policy fields, the authors uncover meaningful patterns of federal action and outcome in Canadian cities. A timely contribution, Canada in Cities offers a comprehensive study of diverse areas of municipal public policy that have emerged in Canada in recent years.

Download or read book Governing Urban Economies written by Neil Bradford and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today more than ever, cities matter to the economic and social well-being of the vast majority of Canadians. Canada’s urban centers are simultaneously the engines of the national economy and the places where the risks of social exclusion are most concentrated, making innovative and inclusive urban governance an urgent national priority. Governing Urban Economies is the first detailed scholarly examination of relations among governmental and community-based actors in Canadian city-regions. Comparing patterns of municipal-community relations and federal-provincial interactions across city-regions, this volume tracks the ways in which urban coalitions tackle complex economic and social challenges. Featuring an inter-disciplinary group of established and up-and-coming scholars, this collection breaks new ground in the Canadian urban politics literature and will appeal to urbanists working in a range of national contexts.

Book excerpt: The objective of the research was to assess existing knowledge of the ways cities matter in an era of globalization, identify common themes from the literature and existing policy networks and propose future directions for policy research and action at the community as well as the regional and national levels. Contrary to predictions of the "locationless" effects of virtual communications and the "death of distance", urban centres have become more - not less - important as places where people live, work and play. Yet, experience shows that cities can be both engines of national prosperity and locales where the risks of social exclusion and environmental degradation exist. Better understanding is required of the factors that will sustain vibrant Canadian cities and healthy communities in a global age. This project examined these issues in the literature, through existing policy and networks and through a roundtable. The first part of the paper traces the complex economic, social and political transformations that have put Canadian cities back on the agenda of policy communities. Choices must be made about how our urban spaces will be managed, whether investments will be made in human resources and physical infrastructure of cities and what new fiscal tools and financing mechanisms will be available to municipalities. The second part of the paper provides historical perspective on these challenges and choices and shows that the present day is not the first time that such fundamental questions have surfaced about cities and their role in national life. The third part of the paper maps four distinctive frameworks for mobilizing and advancing strategies to regenerate Canadian cities. These are: economic cluster; social inclusion; community economic development; and environmental sustainability. The major political challenge is to bring these respective advocacy networks together into a workable policy mix. The fourth part of the paper addresses the possibilities for progress, connecting a vision of community-based regionalism to the fundamental questions of urban governance. Given the increasingly important role of cities in shaping the country's economic, social and environmental well-being, Canada's new urban agenda must better align federal, provincial and municipal policies with the physical design and community planning of the country's diverse city-regions.

Download or read book Every Place Matters written by Andrew Beer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe policy makers implement, and academics teach and undertake research upon, place-based policy. But what is place-based policy, what does it aspire to achieve, what are the benefits of place-based approaches relative to other forms of policy, and what are the key determinants of success for this type of government intervention? This Policy Expo examines these questions, reviewing the literature and the experience of places and their governments around the world. We find place-based policies are essential in contemporary economies, providing solutions to otherwise intractable challenges such as the long-term decline of cities and regions. For those working in public sector agencies the success or failure of place-based policies is largely attributable to governance arrangements, but for researchers the community that is the subject of this policy effort, and its leadership, determines outcomes. This Policy Expo explores the differing perspectives on place-based policy and maps out the essential components of effective and impactful actions by government at the scale of individual places.

Book excerpt: • Trouver le dosage de politiques approprié - Le fait de reconnaître l'importance de la localité pour les besoins de l'élaboration des politiques signifie aussi d'admettre la présence de risques possibles inhérents à l'accent mis sur la dimension locale si on la conçoit de façon trop étroite ou sans relation avec les politiques de portée plus vaste. [...] À l'aide d'un dosage de principes, de pratiques et de réseaux, l'Union européenne est devenue dans les années 90 un catalyseur de l'innovation urbaine par l'intermédiaire d'une collaboration entre les États membres et les intervenants locaux sur le plan de l'élaboration des politiques. [...] Le principe de la cohésion a permis de diriger des ressources vers les endroits les plus défavorisés, y compris des quartiers en difficulté à l'intérieur des grandes villes et des centres urbains de plus petite taille à la périphérie aux prises eux aussi avec des difficultés. [...] Celles-ci comprennent le besoin de respecter le partage formel des compétences et d'agir en tenant compte de l'interdépendance des politiques, de répondre aux demandes politiques axées sur l'atteinte de « résultats » et de se plier à plus long terme à la planification nécessaire à des partenariats efficaces, et de relier les interventions locales à des stratégies régionales et à des politiques nat. [...] Les EDU permettent de rassembler les ressources consacrées à la solution de problèmes de trois ordres de gouvernement, des milieux communautaires et du secteur des affaires.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Profits of Charity examines the contemporary law governing the involvement of charity in commerce, explores the reasons why this involvement is dramatically changing and considers the resulting implications for charities and the nonprofit sector. From a perspective familiar to charity lawyers, NGO managers, and scholars, Kerry O'Halloran identifies the concepts and the law underpinning charities and their profits by tracing legal developments in the field and identifying the resulting opportunities and challenges for the future. At a time when many leading nations are confronting economic recession, the threat of terrorism, and the retreat of the 'welfare state,' this book explores how and why governments are now turning to charities in their quest to cultivate social capital, consolidate civil society, and promote civic engagement. In The Profits of Charity, Professor O'Halloran undertakes a comparative analysis of the balance struck between government, charity, and commerce in the EU and leading common law nations, including the United States, Canada, England and Wales, New Zealand, and Australia. He uses analysis of legislation, outcomes of charity law reviews, and recent case law to illustrate jurisdictional differences, and concludes with an assessment of the extent and significance of the recalibrated relationships and considers the overarching issues that arise for charity law and social policy.

Download or read book Multiple Barriers written by Alison Smith and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite decades of efforts to combat homelessness, many people continue to experience it in Canada’s major cities. There are a number of barriers that prevent effective responses to homelessness, including a lack of agreement on the fundamental question: what is homelessness? In Multiple Barriers, Alison Smith explores the forces that shape intergovernmental and multilevel governance dynamics to help better understand why, despite the best efforts of community and advocacy groups, homelessness remains as persistent as ever. Drawing on nearly 100 interviews with key actors in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal, as well as extensive participant observation, Smith argues that institutional differences across cities interact with ideas regarding homelessness to contribute to very different models of governance. Multiple Barriers shows that the genuine involvement of locally based service providers, with the development of policy, are necessary for an effective, equitable, and enduring solution to the homelessness crisis in Canada.
